SUBJECT: Statements on Atomic Energy in Secretary Wallace's
Letter of July 23.
Secretary Wal laco's letter of July 23, 1946, on foreign policy
includes a discussion of the international control of atomic energy.
The United States Delegation to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission
had no knowledge of this letter prior to its appearance in the press on
September 18. The letter contains a number of statements purporting to
describe the United States proposals for atomic energy control which are
directly at variance with the facts as repeatedly stated in widely
published documents well before the time when the letter was written. There
are also misunderstandings as to the proposals made by the Soviet Union.
This memorandum is intended simply to point out the major
errors of fact with a view to setting the record straight. It does not
attempt to cover every detail or to restate the entire United States
position. Secretary Wallace's letter also contains some mistaken
conclusions, which were the inevitable result of the errors of fact. In
this field, as in all others, sound conclusions can be based only on the
facts.
The misstatements in Secretary Wallace's letter may be summarized
under five headings
